In the midst of all the changes and apprehensions concerning the global pandemic of Covid-19, I wanted to repost the picture I used 4 years ago, and focus on the beauty of springtime! I saw a wayside pulpit sign recently which said, “Every springtime flower is evidence of the Resurrection!” How true. Our God is the Creator of all the beauty we are seeing again: the flowering trees as well as those with the feathery green of budding leaves. Early spring flowers and other shoots of leaves poking up from a moist, rich earth. Birdsong in the mornings; even the spring storms and rain, followed by the blue skies and clouds. Sunrises and sunsets. A rebirth of nature, newness of life again!
All the beauty around us that declares the glory of God, and His handiwork! Read and meditate on Psalms 19:1-6 Just as spring faithfully follows the cold and often bleak season of winter, so is the faithfulness of God and His love for us.
“The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” (Lam. 3:22-23 ESV)He is faithful! He is always with us, wanting us to delight in Him, to enjoy the creation He made, but most of all to ENJOY HIM !!
When life seems so uncertain, focus on what never changes: His love for you and me! Take a minute to listen to
some of the peaceful sounds of nature, and worship Him who made it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfTJoqX5vzY Or on a more lively note, thank Him as you listen to this fun song about His creatures! https://youtu.be/sTKJUxl8TL4 It will bring you joy (and get you clapping your hands!)
